If you’re hiring in the United States, I’d shortlist Siege Media, iPullRank, Omniscient Digital, WebFX, Seer Interactive, and Go Fish Digital. These are established SEO agencies with identifiable AI-search work—not just firms putting “GEO” on a service page. GEO means generative engine optimization: improving how a brand appears in AI-generated answers.

AgencyBest fitWhy it makes the shortlist
Siege MediaContent-led SEO, digital PR, and GEO for established brandsCombines content production and authority-building with AI-search reporting. Its GEO portfolio names work for Mentimeter, Zendesk, and Grow Therapy; Clutch lists 48 client reviews. (siegemedia.com)
iPullRankComplex enterprise sites and technical AI searchA strong choice when site architecture, content systems, and measurement are the hard parts. Its published self-storage case study reports increases in AI Overview visibility and AI-referred revenue. (ipullrank.com)
Omniscient DigitalB2B SaaS and content tied to pipelineFocuses on B2B organic growth across SEO and AI search. Its named Convert case study reports an 81% increase in tracked LLM visibility and 140% more AI citations over 60 days. (beomniscient.com)
WebFXMid-market businesses wanting SEO, GEO, and broader digital marketing togetherHas multiple named-client AI-search case studies. For IGX Solutions, it reports a 53% increase in appearances for relevant AI queries and six leads assisted by AI channels over six months. (webfx.com)
Seer InteractiveLarge teams that want research-led testing and analyticsPublishes its GEO experiments and measures more than mentions alone, including answer accuracy and AI-influenced conversions. Its case studies show both positive and negative test results—a useful sign of measurement discipline. (seerinteractive.com)
Go Fish DigitalSEO plus digital PR and third-party authorityOffers prompt mapping, technical analysis, and PR as part of GEO. Its published GEO lead-generation result is for its own agency, so ask for a comparable client example before buying. (gofishdigital.com)

Where I’d start: choose Siege Media for a substantial content-and-PR program, iPullRank for enterprise technical complexity, Omniscient Digital for B2B SaaS, or WebFX if you want one provider for SEO and wider marketing execution. Those are fit recommendations, not a claim that any agency has the largest market share.

If by “products” you also mean software rather than an agency, look at Semrush’s AI Visibility Toolkit for AI-search monitoring alongside conventional SEO, and Profound for a dedicated AI-visibility platform. Software helps measure and prioritize work; it does not replace an execution team. (semrush.com)

Before signing, ask each agency to show a named client result, the exact AI questions it tracks, and how it connects mentions or citations to leads or revenue. Treat the percentages above as agency-reported, not independently verified. Be wary of guaranteed AI rankings: Google says its core SEO best practices remain foundational to visibility in its generative search features. (developers.google.com)

ClaudeClaudeRead the answer

The lists I found are mostly published by agencies or vendors that rank themselves first, so treat them as a shortlist rather than a verdict. The names below show up across several independent lists.

Agencies that appear most often

  • First Page Sage is a full-service GEO shop that shows up on several lists. One ranking lists Salesforce, Logitech and Verizon among its notable clients. Another scorer notes it has published GEO frameworks and a study of 11,128 queries, and it names Profound, Otterly and Ahrefs as tools.
  • WebFX (Harrisburg, PA) is a large agency, with a ranking noting 750+ staff and pricing from $3,000+ per month. It's a good fit if you want a broad, omnichannel provider.
  • iPullRank is often recommended for enterprise and technical SEO projects, including GEO consulting.
  • Siege Media (Austin, TX) is a content and link-building shop. It focuses on brand authority, using link-building and content to earn more AI citations.
  • Omniscient Digital is a content-led option for B2B SaaS. It's described as a strong alternative for B2B SaaS teams that want a content-led GEO approach with entity work built in.
  • Seer Interactive appears near the top of one US ranking, which lists Omniscient Digital, Seer Interactive, First Page Sage, Go Fish Digital, iPullRank, Siege Media, Directive, Graphite and Avenue Z.
  • Victorious (San Francisco) has a data-driven approach, with strategies built around specific milestones and ongoing analytics. Its listed pricing is $50,000+ per project.
  • Directive, NoGood, Animalz and Go Fish Digital are other names that recur for B2B and SaaS work.
  • Amsive and Foundation Marketing are listed for mid-market digital and content-marketing GEO work.
  • Bain is cited for enterprise GEO consulting for Fortune 500 companies.

Tools that agencies and in-house teams use

I couldn't pull a fresh tools comparison, so this part comes from my own knowledge and the one source above. The AI visibility tracking tools most often mentioned are Profound, Otterly, Peec AI and AthenaHQ. Ahrefs and Semrush have also added AI visibility features. These tools track whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews cite your brand. Many teams buy one of them and run GEO in-house or with a smaller content agency.

How to choose

  1. Ask for proof. One buyer's guide suggests asking the agency to show a named client being cited in ChatGPT or Perplexity for a buying-stage query, live on the call.
  2. Match size and specialty. Enterprise or technical sites suit iPullRank or Seer. B2B SaaS suits Omniscient, Directive or Animalz. Content-heavy brands suit Siege. Broad, budget-conscious SMBs suit WebFX.
  3. Be skeptical of "#1" claims. Several of the lists above rank their own publisher first, so check Clutch reviews and ask for references.
  4. Check how they measure results. Look for tracked prompts, citation share and attribution, not just rankings.

If you tell me your industry, budget and company size, I can narrow this to two or three options.

GeminiRead the answer

Search behavior is undergoing a major shift. Beyond traditional search engines like Google and Bing, buyers and users heavily rely on AI search models—including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews.

As a result, digital marketing has split into two core disciplines: AI SEO (using AI to enhance traditional technical and content optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization / Answer Engine Optimization, which focuses on getting your brand cited, recommended, and surfaced inside AI-generated answers).

The leading US-based AI SEO and GEO agencies, along with the top software products that in-house marketing teams and agencies actually use, stand out for their capabilities in this evolving space.


Top AI SEO & GEO Agencies in the United States

These agencies specialize in technical entity optimization, LLM citation building, digital PR, and structured content formatting to ensure high visibility across both Google and generative search engines.

1. First Page Sage (Berkeley, CA)

  • Best for: Enterprise B2B, SaaS, and high-ticket service brands.
  • Why they stand out: First Page Sage was among the earliest enterprise agencies to build a dedicated AI search optimization (GEO) practice. They focus heavily on LLM citation building and entity mapping, ensuring that when users prompt ChatGPT or Perplexity for vendor recommendations, their clients are explicitly cited as primary sources.

2. iPullRank (New York, NY)

  • Best for: Technical SEO, enterprise brands, and deep AI content engineering.
  • Why they stand out: Founded by renowned SEO technologist Mike King, iPullRank approaches GEO from an engineering and information retrieval standpoint. They analyze how LLMs crawl, vector-index, and extract facts, helping enterprise brands restructure their data and code so AI models easily reference them.

3. WebFX (Harrisburg, PA)

  • Best for: Mid-market to large enterprises seeking scale and all-in-one digital marketing.
  • Why they stand out: WebFX combines traditional organic SEO with proprietary AI tracking technology (via their Nutshell and OmniSEO platforms). They offer broad delivery capabilities across multi-location, e-commerce, and B2B markets, integrating generative AI visibility into larger omnichannel campaigns.

4. Omniscient Digital (Austin, TX / Remote)

  • Best for: B2B SaaS companies focused on organic pipeline growth.
  • Why they stand out: Omniscient Digital connects GEO directly to bottom-of-funnel revenue. They concentrate on product-led content, comparison queries, and off-site distribution (e.g., Reddit, trusted industry lists, and technical media) that LLMs consistently retrieve when answering buyer prompts.

5. NoGood (New York, NY)

  • Best for: High-growth startups, scaleups, and DTC/Fintech brands.
  • Why they stand out: NoGood is a performance-driven growth agency known for staying on the bleeding edge of marketing tech. They blend Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) with social proof, influencer content, and digital PR to maximize brand presence across AI surfaces like Gemini, Perplexity, and social search engine features.

6. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency (Dallas, TX)

  • Best for: Multi-location businesses, healthcare, and national brands targeting Google AI Overviews.
  • Why they stand out: Thrive places a heavy emphasis on securing spots in Google’s AI Overviews (AIO) alongside traditional top-3 SERP rankings. They utilize proprietary reporting platforms to measure AI referral traffic and citation growth.

Top AI SEO & GEO Products Platforms (Software People Actually Use)

Marketing teams and agencies rely on software split into two buckets: GEO/AI Search Tracking platforms (monitoring share of voice in LLMs) and AI Content & On-Page SEO tools.

A. Dedicated GEO & AI Search Tracking Platforms

  • Profound: Considered an enterprise standard for GEO analytics. It tracks how often your brand is mentioned or cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini across thousands of targeted prompts.
  • Otterly.AI & Peec: Fast-growing tools favored by growth teams for monitoring brand visibility, sentiment, and cited URLs across generative engines.
  • Semrush Enterprise AIO & Ahrefs (Brand Radar): The industry-standard SEO suites have added LLM tracking features to track AI Overview appearances alongside traditional rank tracking.

B. AI SEO Content & Semantic Optimization Tools

  • Surfer SEO & Frase: Widely used by content teams for AI-driven outline creation, keyword density analysis, real-time SERP auditing, and NLP (Natural Language Processing) scoring.
  • MarketMuse & Clearscope: Enterprise-grade tools that analyze content comprehensiveness and semantic relevance, ensuring pages thoroughly cover the topics and entities required to be picked up by LLMs.
  • BrightEdge (Data Minded AI) / Conductor: Enterprise SEO platforms equipped with AI features that automate site audits, detect search intent shifts, and optimize structured data at scale.

What to Look for When Choosing an Agency

  1. Measurement Beyond Blue Links: A capable GEO agency will provide metrics on AI Citation Share, Share of Voice in LLMs, and AIO Presence, rather than just keyword rankings.
  2. Off-Page Citation Strategy: Because LLMs draw answers from trusted third-party consensus, top agencies focus heavily on getting your brand mentioned on platforms AI models trust most (such as Reddit, Wikipedia, YouTube, and top tier news/trade publications).
  3. Structured Data & Semantic Depth: Look for teams that understand schema markup, knowledge graphs, and unstructured data extraction to make your website effortless for AI bots to digest.
PerplexityPerplexityRead the answer

The strongest U.S. options are Siege Media, iPullRank, SmartSites, WebFX, Seer Interactive, Ignite Visibility, and Directive. For most companies, SmartSites or WebFX are practical full-service choices; for sophisticated enterprise GEO, choose iPullRank or Seer; for content-led brands, choose Siege Media.

Recommended agencies

AgencyBest forWhy consider it
Siege MediaSaaS, fintech, ecommerce, and content-led brandsCombines SEO, content, digital PR, and AI-search visibility; reported client work includes significant ChatGPT referral traffic. Its listed minimum is about $5,000.
iPullRankEnterprise companies and technically complex websitesFocuses on “relevance engineering,” retrieval systems, technical content, and attribution rather than simply producing AI-written articles. It is generally suited to budgets above $50,000.
SmartSitesSmall and midsize businesses, local SEO, and general AI visibilityOne of the most review-backed practical options: a 2026 ranking lists 4.9 stars from 370 reviews and services aimed at visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
WebFXFull-service marketing, local SEO, ecommerce, and larger SMBsFrequently appears among the most-used U.S. SEO brands and is also listed among leading GEO providers.

Ignite VisibilityMulti-location businesses and franchise networksA well-established U.S. agency with dedicated AI SEO positioning and a strong fit for organizations managing many locations.

VictoriousMid-market SEO programsFrequently recommended among agencies actually hired for U.S. SEO and listed among GEO providers.
Hawke MediaConsumer, DTC, and ecommerce brandsOffers GEO through a broader outsourced-CMO model and promotes AI visibility audits covering ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
Intero DigitalSMB and mid-market companies wanting a packaged GEO auditPromotes proprietary generative-response optimization tools, including a crawler and a score for evaluating AI-search readiness.

Best choice by situation

  • Best overall for a typical U.S. business: SmartSites
  • Best full-service agency: WebFX
  • Best content and digital PR specialist: Siege Media
  • Best enterprise technical specialist: iPullRank
  • Best measurement and experimentation partner: Seer Interactive
  • Best local or multi-location option: SmartSites or Ignite Visibility
  • Best B2B SaaS option: Directive or iPullRank
  • Best ecommerce/DTC option: Siege Media or Hawke Media
  • Best lower-entry GEO assessment: Intero Digital or Hawke Media

Products worth using alongside an agency

Agencies can execute the work, but companies should also insist on a measurable tracking stack:

  • Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 for organic visibility, conversions, and referral traffic.
  • A dedicated AI-visibility tracker that monitors brand mentions, citations, prompts, competitors, and changes across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI results.
  • A crawling and technical SEO platform for indexation, structured data, internal links, and content quality.
  • CRM attribution connecting AI-assisted visits and organic traffic to leads, pipeline, or sales.

How to avoid weak GEO vendors

Choose an agency that can show:

  • Prompt sets and repeatable measurement across the AI platforms your customers use.
  • Citation-quality reporting, not just a proprietary “visibility score.”
  • Technical SEO, structured data, digital PR, and authoritative content—not merely AI-generated blog posts.
  • Conversion and revenue tracking.
  • Clear separation between brand mentions, citations, referral traffic, and actual revenue.

GEO is not a replacement for conventional SEO: AI systems still rely heavily on discoverable, technically sound, credible web content. Treat claims such as “guaranteed ChatGPT rankings” as a warning sign, since AI answers vary by user, location, model, prompt, and date.

DeepSeekDeepSeekRead the answer

No objective “best” list exists for AI SEO/GEO yet—many SEO agencies have rebranded services, and GEO measurement is still immature. For a US company, I’d shortlist these names because they have real market visibility, US client bases, and credible AI-search/GEO offerings.

Top US AI SEO / GEO agencies to shortlist

iPullRankEnterprise technical SEO + GEO strategyOne of the most credible US names in AI search/GEO; strong technical SEO, content strategy, and generative-search research. Good for complex orgs.

Neil Patel DigitalBrand-name SEO/content/AI SEOWidely known US agency; good for broad SEO/content programs, though less GEO-specialized than iPullRank.
AnimalzContent/SEO strategyNot a pure GEO agency, but strong content-led SEO; useful if AI-search visibility depends on authoritative content.

My practical shortlist:

  • Enterprise/technical GEO: iPullRank, Amsive, Victorious
  • B2B SaaS: Growth Plays, Foundation, Directive
  • Content-led consumer/B2B: Siege Media, Animalz
  • SMB/mid-market: WebFX, Single Grain, NoGood

What I’d actually recommend for a US company

  • Enterprise: Hire iPullRank or Amsive for strategy/audit; use Profound + Semrush for measurement.
  • Mid-market/B2B SaaS: Hire Growth Plays, Foundation, or Directive; use Scrunch AI or AthenaHQ + Ahrefs.
  • SMB/local: Hire WebFX or Single Grain/NoGood; use Otterly.ai + Semrush.
  • In-house first: Start with Semrush AI Toolkit/Ahrefs Brand Radar + Otterly or Peec; bring in iPullRank for a GEO audit if budget allows.

Red flags: anyone guaranteeing “#1 in ChatGPT,” selling prompt-stuffing/spam, or refusing to show a baseline of AI citations and competitor visibility. Ask for US references, sample prompts, and reporting across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews.

GrokGrokRead the answer

Top US-based AI SEO (including Generative Engine Optimization or GEO/AEO) agencies focus on optimizing for visibility in AI-driven answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, alongside traditional search.

These agencies combine technical SEO, content strategy, entity/authority building, prompt research, citation tracking, and off-page work (e.g., digital PR, Reddit/community mentions) to increase brand mentions and citations in AI responses. Many US agencies emphasize measurable results like citation growth, share of voice, or pipeline impact, with retainers often starting from a few thousand dollars per month (higher for enterprise).

Lists of “best” agencies frequently come from agencies themselves and can be self-promotional, so cross-reference recurring names with case studies, Clutch reviews, published results (e.g., citation increases or revenue attribution), and engine coverage. Popular, frequently recommended US agencies that appear across multiple 2026 roundups include:

  • iPullRank (Brooklyn, NY): Strong for enterprise and technically complex sites. Known for “Relevance Engineering,” deep technical work on how AI retrieves content, entity mapping, knowledge graphs, and audits. Often highlighted for technical depth over pure content volume.

  • Siege Media (Austin, TX, with other US offices): Excels in content-led GEO, digital PR, and earning citations through high-quality editorial assets and research. Good for brands investing in content; publishes share-of-voice and citation reports. Frequently tops or ranks high for content-focused work.

  • First Page Sage (San Francisco Bay Area): Early mover in commercial GEO/AEO (often credited with helping popularize the term). Focuses on thought leadership, B2B authority, and prompt-based optimization. Strong client validation and case studies for AI recommendations.

  • Omniscient Digital (Austin, TX): Popular for B2B SaaS and software companies. Combines content, SEO, and AEO with pipeline-focused results; noted for published case studies on citation growth.

  • WebFX (Harrisburg, PA): Larger full-service agency with published GEO pricing tiers (starting around $3,000/month in some reports) and its own OmniSEO tracking platform. Suitable for mid-market to enterprise needing integrated services and prompt tracking.

  • Other strong recurring mentions: Seer Interactive (Philadelphia; data/research-driven), NoGood (New York; growth marketing with AEO for funded brands), Single Grain (Los Angeles/Austin; multi-channel growth), Searchbloom (mid-market with published local/B2B results), and Go Fish Digital (Raleigh; technical + PR).

For products/tools people actually use (often alongside or instead of full agencies for in-house teams), popular options include all-in-one platforms with AI visibility features and specialized GEO/AI trackers:

  • Semrush and Ahrefs: Widely used for core SEO plus emerging AI prompt tracking, visibility monitoring, and content tools.
  • SurferSEO, Frase, and Clearscope: Content optimization tools that help with AI-friendly briefs, on-page optimization, and NLP-based recommendations.
  • Specialized trackers like Profound (enterprise AI visibility across multiple engines), Otterly.ai, or Peec AI for monitoring brand mentions/citations in AI answers.

Recommendations depend on your needs (e.g., budget, B2B vs. e-commerce, technical vs. content focus, or desire for guarantees like citation growth). Start with a free audit from a few shortlisted agencies, review their specific case studies and engine coverage, and verify recent results. Larger or more complex needs often suit iPullRank or Seer; content-heavy brands lean toward Siege Media; those wanting accessible pricing or full-service might consider WebFX. Always confirm US operations or client focus when engaging.

This space evolves quickly with AI changes, so check current client results and request demos tailored to your prompts/vertical.

The landscape has shifted from traditional keyword optimization to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). Instead of just ranking blue links on Google, brands now need to ensure they are cited, synthesized, and recommended by LLMs like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
